– Americans are into BIG! Ever notice that? The bigger the better…
Bigger churches, Bigger worship experiences, Bigger book sales, Bigger monikers—in short, we like to make sure things (by “things” I mean, “us”) are ever increasing. But that’s an odd philosophy to try and reconcile with John 3:30, “ He must increase, but I must decrease.” Never mind, it’s probably just me…
Wait, I just remembered something—evidence that it might NOT just be me. Didn’t God Himself say that he came to serve rather than BE served? Yep, sure did. Then there must be some incredible power and influence in letting God deal with who’s ‘seen or not seen’ and focusing instead on lifting high the name of Jesus!
Just saying.
– Just got back from a truly incredible week on Word of Life Island. It was their biggest week of the year and we witnessed hundreds dedicate all they have to Jesus—that’s hundreds of teens who are now… “ALL IN” for Jesus! I expect great big things from these teens who now realize how great and big their God is! Brace for IMPACT Charlotte!
– The series we did was one I did years ago—totally revamped better than ever—“Diary of a Wimpy Christian.” We had 16 animated videos created for every point in every message. It was such a hit that we are planning on having a “Student Takeover SERIES!” That’s right, an entire series where our very own students run nearly EVERYTHING! Look for it around January of 2014!
– Remember, NEXT WEEKEND Impact Church will be moving to our new home at Cuthbertson High School! That’s NEXT weekend, Sunday, July 28th at 10:00 am. But don’t grow attached to the 10:00 hour. The very NEXT weekend after that, Sunday, August 4th begins our 2 service format—9:00 am and 11:00 am!!
– Exciting events are coming fast and furious to Impact Church. Sleep, however, was definitely in short supply this past week, so I am going to keep this mind dump short so I can get some sleep! Can’t wait to see you all this coming week at Cuthbertson!
